Broken ends of a budding yeast chromosome exhibit increased mobility, presumably to facilitate repair by recombination. A new study reports that increased mobility reflects the untethering of the broken chromosome, triggered by a DNA damage response that phosphorylates the Cep3 kinetochore protein and weakens the association between the centromere and the spindle pole body.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 August 2016.
All research outputs
#2,678,342
of 27,764,304 outputs
Outputs from Nature Cell Biology
#1,354
of 4,378 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#38,166
of 316,692 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Cell Biology
#12
of 36 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,764,304 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,378 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 24.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,692 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 36 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
